A new article at truthout by Almerindo Ojeda of the Guantanamo Tesimonials Project offers a possible (and disturbing) explanation for the three men who died at Guantanamo in 2006. Almerindo takes a look at what we know about the three deaths and compares it to what we know about the torture of Ali Al-Marri- a man from Qatar who came to the United States on a student visa in 2001. There are a lot of similarities and many of the questionable holes left in the militaries version fit nicely into the theory that the three men were tortured to death in a technique that is referred to as "dry boarding."

Scott Horton at Harpers- who wrote a groundbreaking story about the deaths of these men a few months back has written about Almerindo's article here.

ONE NATION....UNDER SURVEILLANC

NO PLACE TO HIDE

Probably the most important book of 2014 as it gives a comprehensive look at the extent this country of mine has creeped into the bedrooms of all of us across the world-and the importance of hero EDWARD SNOWDEN- in risking his freedom to let all of us know. What we do with that knowledge will say alot about all of us...

Ron Suskind's "The Way of the World"

If you have not read Ron's book then you do not have the whole story about what I have been doing to try to get my clients out ofGuantanamo. Ron kept up with my activities and even followed me around on occasion to get the full story... then he weaved my story in with the stories of other individuals who are concerned with the direction of the United States. I recommend the book to all of you out there who also care about the direction that the US has gone these past eight years and want to work to change things.
